There is an article in the Minnesota Daily today on the appeal. (Tried to up- load it but some server is down :-( ) Anyway, it states in the article that the reason Woog thinks the suspension wasn't valid was because McAlpine's hands didn't leave his stick. This is a new one to me....what difference would it make? I will quote from the article: Referee Robin Anderson said McAlpine's hand left his stick when he returned a hit from Hill.<MTU's Jeff Hill> Had McAlpine kept both hands on the stick, as Woog maintains he did after seeing the video, the hit should have drawn only a minor penalty. Hill was not penalized at all on the play. end quote I'm really confused now. Wouldn't a hit holding the stick be just as bad? I might have to find time this weekend and get to the library to see if they have a copy of the NC$$ rule book and read up on MAJOR penalties and DQ's. Unless someone (Mike? Keith? Kenny Z?) can clue us in here what the problem is. The person they are appealing to was at the game. Head of officials for the WCHA Ron Foyt was officiating (if you could call it that...) at the game. The article also says that this is the FIRST time in his nine-year career at Minnesota that Woog has ever filed an appeal. I don't hold out any hope that they will grant the appeal however. -Carol Carol S.
